Overcorrect otoplasty: can they be fixed? (Photos)

caitlin995
I had my ears pinned when I was about 10 years old (22yrs old now) and they were over corrected, we’ll the left one was. It is now an unusual shapone and it’s quite hard compared to my other ear. When I touch the back it’s as if I can still feel stitches in it. I am very self conscious of them as they have the ‘telephone’ shape and people comment on the fact that they look strange. I rarely wear my hair up and it also hurts to to wear glasses or a head band. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
